Peaceful, relaxing location, beautiful accomodation. Street food is every where, 7/11 is just up the road, Asiatique is a 10 min free ferry ride down the river. Very close to the BTS system, and only a 10 min walk to Sokran - Bangkoks central pier. It costs 3 baht to cross the river,. The express ferry is fantastic, 15 baht to go one way, very easy to get to the Grand Palace. The hosts are awesome and the free breakfast is great :)
